Quick Rundown - Raids 124 - 130 - Level 21

There was an event last week where there was no flea market or traders. I had to run scav runs to get some weapons, and since I couldn't buy scav vests and balaclavas I had to set Punisher Part 4 down (again). I did some looting and chased down some other quests.  

Here is a quick rundown, skipping most of the blow-by-blow.

Raid 124  - Punisher 4

On Shoreline, pursuing Punisher 4 with my Ash-12. Was in a bush peeking the way forward when a player ran up nearby, apparently to do the same. I couldn't see him, but I could hear him. I stepped out of the bush and started firing on him. He turned while crouched and shot me dead. In the post-mortem I saw that none of my shots landed.

Time In Raid: 3 minutes, 14 seconds
Exp: 42
Shots Fired: 2.  
Killed By: Tritantrfl7   - GG Tritantrfl7   

Mistakes

  • maybe I should have just stood instead of moving? Would have made less noise initially.

Raid 125 - Shoreline ?

Returned to Shoreline with an ADAR, but realized when I got there that I didn't have a balaclava or scav vest.  Now what?    Ended up firing on a scav, and while doing so noticed there was an odd behavior with the reticle movement. Conducted some experiments, but the scav killed me before I could complete them.  

Time In Raid: 12 minutes, 40 seconds
Exp: 415
Shots: 14, Hits: 4, Accuracy: 0.21, Body: 101
Kills: Roma Multik.  Godspeed Roma!
Killed By: Tihon Ognestrel

Raid 126 - Gun Run

Went to customs to grub up some weapons. Killed a player scav who was carrying a whole load of shitty VPO-136s. Took them all and crafted the VPO-136s into AKMs on the workbench.   Saw Reshala and gang behind New Gas, but couldn't manage to kill any of them and gave up once I got the weapons trove from the Player Scav

Time In Raid: 16 minutes, 32 seconds
Shots: 21, Hits: 9, Accuracy: 0.38, Body: 425, Armor: 26
Kills: Zhores Korzh (sorry dude)
Exp: 1168

Raid 127 - Lighthouse

Went to Lighthouse, got a quest item.
Time In Raid: 24 minutes, 9 seconds
Exp: 785
Shots: 10, Hits: 4, Accuracy: 0.4, Body: 173
Kills: Senya Novgorodskiy (AI Scav)

Raid 128 - Woods

Went to Woods for a quest item. Came under sniper fire at the saw mill, jumped to cover. Proceeded cover to cover and then ran into the main sawmill building where I was immediately gunned down by NirraGniKGaming.

Time In Raid: 9 minutes, 18 seconds
Exp: 164

Raid 129 - Woods

Returned to Woods, got the quest item. Killed a scav, came under sniper fire, evaded and extracted.

Time In Raid: 15 minutes, 26 seconds
Exp: 902
Shots: 5, Hits: 3, Accuracy: 0.6, Body: 147
Kills: Fedya Butirat

Raid 130 - Exit Camped

Customs, looking for action or loot.  Quiet raid.  Raid timer was running low, so I hustled to RUAF. A scav shouted, but then footsteps came running from behind. I pushed forward to the scav and put a whole magazine of Pst gzh into him, but he didn't go down. No time to dawdle, someone is approaching. I moved, but autofire rang out and I was cut up pretty badly. I ducked behind the cover of a building. I switched away from the STM-9 I had been using to an MP-5 I picked up earlier in the raid - not even sure how many rounds are in the magazine - but I know it's on autofire, I at least preprared that.  The footsteps hadn't followed me between the buildings, instead he was wrapping around.  That's tough for me - can't use the right lean. I swung out and smashed the fire button, but I was dead before a single round fired.

Time In Raid: 24 minutes, 2 seconds.
Exp: 984
Shots: 32, Hits: 10, Accuracy: 0.31, Body: 451, Armor: 74
Kills: Petya Gosdep, Styopa Boroda
Killed By: Prov Sobachnik (player scav. player name: wuhaoyu ).  GG wuhaoyu

PostScript

The three completed quests pushed me over to Level 21, and they open up more quests for me. So when I next return to Shoreline for Punisher 4 it doesn't have to be such a waste of time - I have some other quests I can pursue simultaneously.

Post PostScript

The guy who I suspected of cheating in raid 117 is now gone from the chat tool. He was Level 18 when he killed me, and now he is absent.

Field of Fire of Emplaced Weapons at Lighthouse USEC Base, for BEARS

On the new Lighthouse map, the USEC rogues are very aggressive against BEARS and will sight on you out to 300 meters or more, and will fire on you far quicker than they will on a USEC PMC.  The fixed guns are particularly dangerous as they can kill you with a single hit when you might not even realize you are close to the base. I made a map with some fields of fire noted on it. There are two mounted machine guns on building 1 , two mounted machine guns and a grenade launcher on building 2 , and a single machine gun on building 3 .  Plus there is a mounted machine gun and grenade launcher on the southwest corner of the base (lower right on this map).  I have noted the general field of fire of each of these weapons on the map. Obviously, there is a lot of cover, so just because you are standing in a red zone on this map doesn't necessarily mean you can be seen and hit. BUT, if there is any sort of line of sight (including through trees, bushes, walls and vehicles) and you are BEAR, t

Counting Cheaters - Part 4

Methodology Because of this blog, I have a record of the name of everyone who kills me, as well as a mostly complete record of the name of everyone I manage to kill.  Every two months this wipe (12.12) I look up all those names in the in-game chat tool.  The presumption being that if a name is no longer in the chat tool then either that person changed their name, or they were banned for cheating.   It is not a perfect methodology nor do I have a lot of data, but it's far better than just going by feel, which is what most people do. The arguments about cheating on Reddit are mostly silly as people just try to generalize anecdotal experiences.  My Anecdotal Experience Since I broached the topic, here is my own anecdotal experience. Before I started doing this I didn't feel like I had encountered many cheaters in Wipe 12.12.  Just a couple.   But since I've started tracking, my view has become more jaundiced and now I have more suspicions. BUT, overall this wipe, I feel like I

On "The Video"

 No doubt, anyone following Tarkov has seen the video from Goat:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5LfGcDB7Ek If you've read my blog before, you know I've tried tracking cheaters in the past by checking all my kills and killers in the in-game chat tool over time. I made several posts, the last of which was this one:  https://itarkovpoorly.blogspot.com/2022/06/counting-cheater-part-4.html My take on the video?  The reason it's called "The wiggle that killed tarkov" is because if cheaters are signaling each other via wiggling, it means there is a CULTURE of cheating and cheaters. And that's the shocking thing. It's not just "some people cheat", it's that there is a whole CULTURE of people cheating, with their own set of spoken/unspoken rules, behaviors, norms and manners. And if you've got a whole culture around something, then it's likely widespread and endemic. And disappointing.  Someone made the remark on Reddit that watching the vi
